"well!"

……

Da Ming calendar, year Jiachen, month Wuchen, day Wuxu...

Taboo: getting married, moving; Easy: funeral, burial!

The spring rain is falling, gently bathing the northern suburbs of Yuhang.

Hundreds of Jinyiwei, each dressed in plain clothes, led by Shangguan Yan'er and Ji Gang, came here to see Li Ziqi and others off for the last time!

In the funeral procession that stretched for hundreds of meters, there was also the patrol battalion commander Jing Shan and his subordinates.

Although it was clear that the Shikumen tragedy had nothing to do with him, Jingshan even sent all the people involved to the Pacification Office...

But out of both reason and public and private considerations, Jingshan brought his talents to pay their respects.

Sealing the coffin, burying the dead, and the family’s thanksgiving…

A mood of grief permeated the entire northern suburbs.

'Pah-ta-ta.'

"Get off the sedan!"

Just as the funeral was going on, a shrill voice suddenly rang in everyone's ears.

When I heard the sound and looked, I saw Yuhang prefect Wu Jingsheng and Gu Dayong, one of the Eight Tigers of the East Factory, coming here in a sedan chair in a dignified manner.

Worship?

What good intentions can a weasel have when it pays a New Year's visit to a chicken?

Sure enough, when they all got off the sedan chair in festive attire, they shouted at Shangguan Yan'er and Ji Gang.

"Congratulations to Shangguan Chenshi, congratulations to Ji Qianhu..."

'boom! ’

After they finished shouting these words in unison, the whole place was filled with anger.

Even one-third of the Jinyiwei had drawn their swords.

Ji Gang and Shangguan Yan'er knew that it was not appropriate to cause trouble at today's funeral, so they signaled their subordinates to stay calm.

"Oh, this is a bit inappropriate to offer congratulations at a funeral."

"Indeed! It was mainly our family who, after hearing the news, were so happy for the two adults."

Seeing Shangguan Yan'er and Ji Gang's sullen expressions, Gu Dayong and Wu Jingsheng shouted to themselves, "You probably don't know yet, do you?"

"The Empress Dowager's decree has arrived at Jiangnan Prefecture. In the afternoon, the Governor of Jiangnan Prefecture, Ren Feng, will personally read it out."

"Because of the rain and slippery roads, they went slower and specifically asked our family to inform you two in advance."

After saying that, Gu Dayong looked at everyone present with his head held high and chest puffed out, a look of pride on his face.

"First, Shangguan Chenshi... the eldest son of the Northern Marquis, has proposed marriage to Your Majesty and your mentor."

"What a perfect match! What a joyous occasion! The Empress Dowager was delighted to hear this. She even ordered Shangguan to return to the capital early to arrange the wedding."

'Crack!'

Even Shangguan Yan'er, who has a cold personality and rarely gets angry, couldn't help laughing and clenched her fists after hearing what the other party said!

But because it was at the funeral of Li Ziqi and others, she didn't want to make things difficult for the widows and orphans, so she suppressed her anger.

"Since the legitimate son of the Northern Marquis is proposing marriage, this assistant official must return?"

"I have important things to do, so I'm sorry I can't obey your order."

Anyone could see that the Queen Mother of the Capital's move was not only to disgust Shangguan Yan'er, but also to make her stop all investigations in Jiangnan.

The legitimate son of the Marquis of Beibo is a well-known playboy in the capital.

A proud daughter of heaven marries him?

What an insult!

"What's the matter? Shangguan Chenshi, are you planning to disobey the order?"

"you……"

After seeing this scene, Qingniao on the side was about to say something, but was stopped by Shangguan Yan'er.

"Whatever it is, wait until the funeral is over."

"Humph!"

After glancing at the dead eunuch Qingniao and snorting coldly, he looked at Ji Gang and added, "Captain Ji led his troops to wipe out the Black Dragon Society lurking in Yuhang in one fell swoop. It is truly gratifying."

"When the news reached the capital, the Queen Mother was very pleased."

"It is proposed to promote him to Ji Qianhu and become the Lingnan Pacification Envoy."

Lingnan?

There are many chieftains and chaos continues!

That is the place where criminals are exiled.

A promotion in name only and a demotion in reality!

"Are you done? If you're done, you can go now."

Ji Gang, who naturally saw the other party's sinister intentions, did not want to cause trouble here, just like Shangguan Yan'er.

Therefore, he spoke in an extremely cold voice.

"Captain Ji, what you said is really hurtful."

"My family and Magistrate Wu are here on behalf of the Queen Mother to pay tribute to the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for their country."

Gu Dayong, who was relying on the power of others to bully others, said this with a forced smile, then turned his head to look at Commander Jing who was not far away.
